Card sketch for Scrapbook Nerd's Creative Summer Camp 2016

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are enjoying the weekend.  It is a long weekend here in Toronto, since we are celebrating Canada's Day on July 1st.   WIth all this time available, I have been putting it to good use working on my assigments for August, and joining in the challenges over at http://scrapbooknerd.com/ creative On-line summer camp.  

The first challenge was to create a layout following a given sketch.  I chose to follow the card sketch by creating a mixed media background.

Using the new Everyday Essentials cut file from  The Cut Shoppe,  I cut different size circles and backed the cut out using papers from Pink Paislee's Fancy Free collection.  They were attached to the page following the direction of the sketch.

I did not deviate much from the sketch, and added my picture, title and ephemera cluster in the place were the sentiment would have been located.

I added a few more details, date and journal lines before calling the page finished.   Here is the completed layout.

I really like how the page turned out, and how easy it came together once I followed the sketch.

Till next time, 

Happy craftin'!!

a sneak peak of the layout

Hello all!

it is no secret, I love a good cut file and so does my Cameo.  Fortunately the Cut Shoppe  design exclusive  cut files for Scrapbook Nerd (I happen to design for both companies, so major YAY!!)...  For the summer, a new cut file called Camp Glamp is available in the www.scrapbooknerd.com store,  THEY ARE FREE, so  go and get your copy.

In addition, we over at Scrapbook Nerd, have started a new series on how to use the Silhouette products and the software.  So, hop onto the blog (http://scrapbooknerd.com/)  to see my first attempt at a video  (I rather enjoy photography, but my IT guy -i.e. my son- has been hired as a producer) about the basics of using a cutfile.

For this project I only used the pinwheel element of the cutfile.  I cut two of this  pieces of the same dimensions, and backed the cut-outs using MME On Trend2 papers.

I used the sewing machine to stitch in each triangle to the cut-out

I wanted to add some color to the background, so I used some Heidi Swapp color shine to create a water color effect on the 11x11 in. mat.

lots of ink droplets on the background.

The two cut-outs were attached along the diagonal line of the mat, and the picture was placed at the intersection of the two cut-outs. 

The title and all embelishment come from the On Trend2 collection

I added my journal in one of the triangles of the top cut-out, and chose not to trim the cut-out to fit within the page, instead i opted to keep it overlapping the layout.

a close up to the  top of the layout.

Finally I matted the layout on top of  a paper from the same collection, and added some enamel dots to the layout.  Here is the final look:

The paper collection is beautiful, and works perfecty with the cut-file

I hope you enjoy the layout, and  if you want to obtain a copy of the cutfile here is the website link: http://scrapbooknerd.com/xencart/index.php?main_page=products_new

As always feel free to contact me with any questions.

Take care!!

a glimpse of the layout

Hello all!,

I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful weather outside,  it certainly  feels like summer here in Toronto.  I can't believe we are at the end of June already, and i am still scrapping my pictures from this spring.  

Today, I am adding a new layout created using mainly Paige Evans' Fancy Free collection (it was hard to find all the pieces of the collection, but i managed to snatch most of the papers and a few add ons).  I had pictures of my daughter and Tiana (my "soccer niece") laughing and hiding their faces from the camera lens.   Though I took the picture in April, it was so cold that day, that i chose to convert the picture to black and white to use color as a background.

The cutfile works perfect to add color to the background.

Using the May Mash Up cut file from The Cut Shoppe,  I enlarge this cutout and shear it by 15 degrees.  I backed the cut-out with different papers from the collection, and attached it to the page with some foam dots.

this two girls could not stop laughing that day

The picture was attached with a large thick piece of foam behind it.   Small clusters of ephemera from the Fancy Free collection, and Jillibean Soup Healthy Hello add interest to the picture.

the title of the layout

Fot the title,  the Open Letter cutfile from The Cut Shoppe -one of my favorite cut files ever- adds lots of space to add more color to the layout.

Finally I added my journal lines along the edge of the circle cut file.  A few last minute touches (stickers and flair) complete the layout.

the final layout

It was fun and super easy layout to bring together...

As always, let me know if you have any questions. 

See you soon!
